+# Hyperlink Column
+
+A _hyperlink_ column allows you to display hyperlinks in the Grid dashboard item.
+
+![GridHyperLinkColumn_Example_Win](../../../../../images/GridHyperLinkColumn_Example_Win.png)
+
+You can provide hyperlinks as a separate data column. or they can be automatically created at run-time from any column using the specified **URI pattern**.
+
+In this document, the sample data source contains four fields: country name, official country name, Wikipedia country page's URI and the GDP value.
+
+![GridHyperLinkColumn_UnderlyingDataSource](../../../../../images/GridHyperLinkColumn_UnderlyingDataSource.png)
+
+The following sections describe how to create hyperlink columns in more detail:
+
+- [Data Field Containing Uri Values](#data-field-containing-uri-values)
+- [Uri Pattern](#uri-pattern)
+
+## Data Field Containing Uri Values
+
+Drag the _Name_ data field from the Data Source tree view to the column's [data item container](../../../binding-dashboard-items-to-data/binding-dashboard-items-to-data.md). The data field is automatically processed as [dimension](dimension-column.md). Drag and drop the GDP data field to another column's data item container. The data field is recognized as [measure](measure-column.md) and summarized.
+
+![GridHyperLinkColumn_InitialGrid](../../../../../images/GridHyperLinkColumn_InitialGrid.png)
+
+[Drop](../../../binding-dashboard-items-to-data/binding-dashboard-items-to-data.md) the _Link_ field between the _Name_ and the _GDP (Sum)_ data items. The Grid recognizes this field as **dimension** and displays links as plain text.
+
+![GridHyperLinkColumn_HyperlinkAsText](../../../../../images/GridHyperLinkColumn_HyperlinkAsText.png)
+
+Click the [Column Type Indicator](column-type-overview.md) button next to the _Name_ data item and change its type to **Hyperlink**.
+
+![GridHyperlinkColumn_column_options](../../../../../images/gridhyperlinkcolumn_column_options.png)
+
+The Grid displays column values as clickable hyperlinks allowing you to navigate to the Wiki's pages.
+
+![GridHyperLinkColumn_HyperlinkAsLink](../../../../../images/GridHyperLinkColumn_HyperlinkAsLink.png)
+
+You can bind the Display value and URI value to different data fields. Click the _New Column_ data item placeholder and change its type to **Hyperlink**.
+
+![GridHyperlinkColumn_hyperlinkandurifromdata](../../../../../images/gridhyperlinkcolumn_hyperlinkandurifromdata.png)
+
+Drag and drop the _OfficialName_ field to the _Display Value_ data item placeholder to display official country names. Drag and drop the _Link_ field to the _Uri_ data item placeholder to specify URIs.
+
+The grid displays official country names with links obtained from the _Link_ data source field.
+
+![GridHyperLinkColumn_HyperlinkWithDisplayText](../../../../../images/GridHyperLinkColumn_HyperlinkWithDisplayText.png)
+
+## Uri Pattern
+In this case, a specified URI pattern is used to generate links.
+
+Drag the _Name_ data field from the Data Source tree view to the column's [data item container](../../../binding-dashboard-items-to-data/binding-dashboard-items-to-data.md). The data field is automatically processed as [dimension](dimension-column.md). Drag and drop the GDP data field to another column's data item container. The data field is recognized as [measure](measure-column.md) and summarized.
+
+![GridHyperLinkColumn_InitialGrid](../../../../../images/GridHyperLinkColumn_InitialGrid.png)
+
+Click the [Column Type Indicator](column-type-overview.md) button next to the Name data item and change its type to **Hyperlink**. Specify the **URI Pattern** option as follows:
+
+```https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/{0}```
+
+![GridHyperLinkColumn_ColumnOptionsDialog](../../../../../images/GridHyperLinkColumn_ColumnOptionsDialog.png)
+
+The ```{0}``` placeholder is replaced with the _Name_ data item value. The links are generated for country names and displayed in the grid as illustrated in the following picture.
